Diamond fever in Leipzig: VfB Stuttgart under pressure, 1:3 defeat!
The duel between VfB Stuttgart and RB Leipzig on November 1, 2025 ended in defeat for Stuttgart, which lost 3-1. This puts Leipzig, who secured second place in the table with this victory, further on their path to success. Stuttgart, on the other hand, is at the top of the table, but the coaches and fans agree: this defeat should not be seen as a setback, but rather as a sign of progress. In a remarkable game, Stuttgart showed a solid, tactically well-adjusted performance, even if crucial mistakes turned things around.
The evening's superstar, Yan Diomande, led Leipzig to another success by scoring two goals. The first came from a dribble against Maxi Mittelstädt, the second was a precise shot. But the Swabians showed in parts of the game that they were certainly capable of putting Leipzig under pressure and performing solidly defensively. Coach Sebastian Hoeneß analyzed the first half as almost perfect, but also noted the opponent's great chances. An own goal from Jeff Chabot and a fumble from Alex Nübel also led to two of the three goals conceded, which was painful for Stuttgart.
